hey everyone! happy new year! i hope you all had a wonderful holiday and i hope that if you’re like me, you can breathe easy now that the holidays are over lol. i know that 2017 was a total blog fail for me and i’ve been hard on myself, especially since i don’t read as much as i used to. i have a whole blog post about what’s been going on here. i’ve been trying to maintain the same themes on my blog meanwhile having internal turmoil when i want to write about other things. at last!!!!!!!! i told myself to just do it and now you will see new things (i mean if you stay of course lol). i even changed my blogger header to this:
my blog will consist of the usual:
- book reviews
- tags
- poetry
- bookish memes
- book hauls
but now it will include these new type of post:
- poet interviews
- make-up hauls
- make-up related post (routines, skincare, etc)
- fashion haul
- fashion related post (seasonal inspo, etc)
- plan with me post
- planner sticker hauls
- conspiracy theory thursday
- discussion type of post
and maybe some other things. who knows. i am super excited for all the new things coming this new year on chicnerdreads. i am learning to accept things as they are and to be kinder to myself. thanks for sticking around. i really appreciate it ❤
how was your new year?

Ahh that’s so exciting! Sometimes I really feel the restrictions of having a strictly bookish blog, especially when there are so many things I’d like to write about. Happy New Year! ❤

I’m glad you will posting any content 🙂 Having a blog is supposed to be personal and about the things you enjoy. I also have been struggling with just having a book theme. Good luck !! Happy New Year 😊

I’m very excited to see the new posts you’re doing on your blog Gretchen. I think if you want to expand from books and book reviews then go for it, I love the sound of your new posts and I’m sure I’ll love them even more when I come to read them! 🙂

YES! Take what you love, own it, and MAKE THIS BLOG WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! I am always sad when people are doing things which bring them down. I understand how hard it can be to escape our demons and our habits (hell, I’m definitely doing things I don’t want to in my life right now, too), but it’s soooo uplifting and empowering to see people taking steps for change.
What was the specific impetus which inspired this (seemingly long coming) change? I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us!

Thank you! I’ve had a lot going on in my life these past few months which is why I’ve been absent from blogging and since I haven’t been reading much, I thought of featuring other things on my blog instead. Things that I really enjoy and love. The New Year was the drive for me to come back with the change ❤

I have seen that! It feels like life has been non-stop tossing things at you since you got published. I hope many of those things are positive, though!
I’m super excited to see these changes! Good luck with the transformation. It iwll rock.
